5-MHz ADVOcean Overview

SonTek/YSI ADVOcean

 The SonTek/YSI ADVOcean (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter Ocean Probe) is a versatile, high-precision instrument used to measure 3-axis (3D) water velocity in the most challenging application. The ADVOcean is designed for a wide range of environments, including the surf zone, open ocean, rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Extremely simple to set up and use, most users are collecting high-quality data within minutes of receiving the system.

Features:
  • 3-Dimensional velocity measurement
  • Programmable sample rate up to 25 Hz
  • High accuracy: ±1% of measured range, ±0.25 cm/s
  • Large dynamic range: 1 mm/s to 5 m/s
  • Non-intrusive measurement
  • No recalibration needed
  • User-friendly software, including HorizonADV
  • Optional MultiPort interface box allows control of multiple ADVs
  • Optional Autonomous Operation
  • Low cost purchase and operation
  • Highly resistant to biofouling
  • Proven SonTek reliability
  • SonWave wave spectrum package for directional wave measurements

Applications:
  • Wave directional spectrum measurements
  • Surf zone turbulence research
  • ROV applications
